The Non-Vortex Inverse Propagation of Energy in a Tightly Focused High-Order Cylindrical Vector Beam
In this paper, the tight focusing of high-order cylindrical vector beams (beams with polarization singularity) was investigated. Using the Richards–Wolf formalism, there were obtained expressions for all projections of the electric and magnetic ...

Multi-twist polarization ribbon topologies in highly-confined optical fields
Electromagnetic plane waves, solutions to Maxwell’s equations, are said to be ‘transverse’ in vacuum. Namely, the waves’ oscillatory electric and magnetic fields are confined within a plane transverse to the waves’ propagation direction.

An orbital energy flow and a spin flow at the tight focus
We have shown that a reverse energy flow (negative projection of the Poynting vector onto the optical axis) at the sharp focus of an optical vortex with topological charge 2 and left-hand circular polarization arises because the axial spin flow has a ...

Spin–Orbital Transformation in a Tight Focus of an Optical Vortex with Circular Polarization
In the framework of the Richards–Wolf formalism, the spin–orbit conversion upon tight focusing of an optical vortex with circular polarization is studied.

Tight focusing of laser beams in a λ/2-microcavity
We evaluate the field distribution in the focal spot of the fundamental Gaussian beam as well as radially and azimuthally polarized doughnut beams focused inside a planar metallic sub-wavelength microcavity using a high numerical aperture objective lens.

Toroidal polarization vortices in tightly focused beams with singularity
In this paper, we numerically investigated tight focusing of cylindrical vector beams of the sec-ond order using Richards-Wolf formulae. It was shown that intensity rings where the Poynting vector was equal to zero appeared not only in the focal plane ...

Formation of an elongated region of energy backflow using ring apertures [PDF]
In this paper, we have investigated the focusing of a second-order cylindrical vector beam by using a high numerical aperture (NA) lens limited by a ring aperture using the Richards-Wolf formulae.

Using a finite-difference time-domain method, it has been shown that focal spots generated when tightly focusing a linearly polarized Gaussian beam by a Fresnel zone plate (FZP) and when focusing a Gaussian beam with an embedded optical vortex by a ...

Absorption-limited high harmonic generation in the tight focusing regime
Paper HW3C.3Phase-matched and absorption-limited HHG can be achieved despite tight focusing. We present theoretical considerations and observed a conversion efficiency of >10-6 in this regime of particular importance for high repetition rate ...
